Arabic Language and Media

The student delegation participated in a training course titled “Basics of Media Documentation,” within the age group from 10 to 16 years, within the “Positive Youth Participation” project implemented by the Center in cooperation with the Jabal Al Nar Club.

The training course concluded with a field visit to the Department of Arabic Language and Media at the Arab American University to learn about the department, its educational outcomes as well as student training facilities.

The head of the department, Mr. Sudqi Mousa, stated that this workshop comes as part of activities organized by the department for its students with the aim of training them on important skills in their professional lives. He explained that mechanisms for verifying information are among the most important skills that a journalist must possess for several reasons, including that s/he should not be prey to misleading information in light of the massive content published on social media, which increases the difficulty of the verification process.

The movie "Al-Khan Al-Ahmar" was directed by Abu Arra, where the State of Palestine was represented in the festival, under the supervision of the lecturer in the Department of Arabic Language and Media at the university, Mr. Sudqi Mousa.
